Graft Podcast features Ian Carter and No Tier Snooker
The Graft Podcast has featured Ian Carter and No Tier Snooker, Dementia Community’s UK Dementia Awards 2026 Young Onset Dementia Award winner.
The podcast episode, hosted by Ben Glimmerveen, is described as follows:
“Ian Carter was 57 when he noticed something was wrong. By 2024 he had a diagnosis: frontal temporal dementia. A condition, as Ian puts it, that doesn’t kill you. It changes you.
He left a successful business impulsively — a decision driven by the condition itself. The DVLA took his licences within days. And then came the void: the gap between diagnosis and deterioration that the NHS has almost nothing to fill. Ian didn’t want triangle sandwiches and a tambourine. So he started his own group.
No Tier Snooker began with three members in January 2025. This episode was recorded weeks before Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor took to the stage in Congleton Town Hall for Ian’s club — 220 tickets, sold out in eight days.
This is a conversation about the trench, about the void, about building something you know you’ll one day have to leave — and why you build it anyway.”
